Hello there, I'm a solo developer and I simply want to use TortoiseSVN
for version control on my single, non-LAN PC. That is, I'd like to
create a repository on my drive C:. Is there a simple, step-by-step,
tutorial anywhere that will explain how to do this? I can't seem to
find one.
Creating a local repository is easy enough, but the problem is that
the "Add" command doesn't appear in the TortoiseSVN pop-up context
menu when I right click on the directory containing source files I'd
like version control. Apparently, I presume I need to run a server,
but this isn't clear from the doc. Questions:
1. Do I need to download and install Subversion? Or Apache? Or the
FSFS or Berkeley database? This isn't necessary with TortoiseCVS as it
includes CVS, but TortoiseSVN doesn't appear to include Subversion.
There's no svnadmin.exe anywhere on my drive after installing it.
2. Section 3 in the TortoiseSVN help states that if you work alone a
server isn't necessary or maybe it is, but you don't have to configure
it. You only need to create a local repository. Did that, still no Add
command.
3. I am able to use TortoiseSVN with remote servers like the Boost
Sandbox. So there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the
installation.
4. The local repository I created is visible in the Repo-Browser, but
only it's name appears (probably because I haven't been able to add
anything to it).
Thanks in advance,
Phil
